About a month ago, I had a discussion with /u/Wasserschloesschen about why I don‘t think we should go for Haller (price, age, no resell value - read the discussion if you‘re interested in the specifics).

Now that we appear to go all in for him and make him our biggest transfer ever*, I fully expect him to deliver from day 1 on.

I won‘t have any mercy or give him a few months to adapt like Malen and I won‘t wait for his goals until he turns 30.

If we buy Haller, we aren‘t buying a talent who is developing. We are buying results. I hope this will pay off and that we won‘t waste our money.

^ *Dembele doesn‘t count—the fee on Transfermarkt is only reported to be so high as it retroactively was changed due to the resell clause. It‘s untypical for Transfermarkt to do this.
